"today in the bay's" christie smith is live in san jose with more details on this man's extremely daring escape. christie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. anthony sanchez is a big guy. to lessen the stress on his shoulders,an jose police linked two pairs of handcuffs together when they put him in handcuffs and put his arms behind his back. he used their kindness to their

advantage and gave san jose police officers the slip yesterday. he stole a police van, they say, from detectives who had just taken him into custody on drug related warrants. police handcuffed him and put him in an unmarked van. an officer was doing paperwork when sanchez slipped the cuffs off, probably moving them under his body and he took off. the keys were in the ignition at the time. fortunately the van was found two hours later where his disappearing act is quite unsettling for neighbors. >> i was kind of shocked. you know, who can do that? big guy. how can he get out of -- we're kind of don't know what to think. kind of scary. >> reporter: san jose police say there were no weapons in that van. anthony sanchez is 5'8" to 5'10"

tall, he was last seen wearing black sweats and a sweatshirt. he's not considered dangerous but police say it's unfortunate this was just a probation violation which would not have meant too much jail time but now when he's caught he may be facing a whole new case. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> 5:03. new details are expected today in a triple murder in sonoma county. a victim's brother found the three men shot to death inside a home on tuesday afternoon. investigators are linking the killings to an illegal marijuana deal. an autopsy is expected to be performed today. police are searching for suspects in that case. pittsburg police continue looking for three suspects involved in a recent deadly shooting that took place at a gas station. 24-year-old robert grant, brian fox and 19-year-old demetria

just this past monday, hundreds turned out for a town council meeting where they demanded a business move or shut down all together. the next night on tuesday night if owner robert chang received a letter at his home in san jose that included a death threat. now his attorney is worried about the next town council meeting where chang will be questioned once again. that special meeting is scheduled for this coming monday. >> i suggested that they delay monday's meeting. that would give the chief an opportunity and los gatos police department an opportunity to take whatever security measures that they want to. >> reporter: now chang is one of three owners but he has refused to publicly identify the other two so far and now chang's attorney says the death threat only validates his decision to try to protect his partners. sort of an interesting twist. one is a los gatos police officer. in regards to the legitimacy of the business being here on university avenue in los gatos,

website. among those guidelines motorists should not pass in traffic that is going more than 30 miles an hour. motorcyclists on freeways should only lane split between the two fast lanes where vehicles are less likely to change lanes. and other drivers should not try to stop a motorcycle from lane splitting. >> guidelines, not laws. interesting. >> you have to be ready. >> it is scary when they come zooming through there. all right. mike inouye is here. going to split lanes for us the conventional way. >> splitting hairs on the commute. subtle difference in your drive. guidelines on my facebook page because people are always ask about lane splitting. over here no need for any of that. traffic flow through fremont is fine. light volume. headlights southbound past truck scales. taillights away from us are southbound. commute direction. few going north are heading up past highway 84 with a report of

25 years and worked under the bush administration when there were lots of questions about the interrogation tactics the cia was using on terror suspects. think waterboarding. remember that? he's going to face questions about that as well and in a written response to the committee not only does he defend the use of drones but brennan also says back then he had some concerns about those interrogation tactics and he raised those concerns to his colleagues in private so we're likely to hear about more of those. >> interesting to see. thank you very much. it's 5:43 right now. it's time to tee off. hollywood sides and pro golfers collide this morning in pebble beach. >> not literally. players taking part in this year's at&t pro-am. always fun to see. one guy that heads out there is bob redell. he's live at pebble beach this morning where tournament play starts this morning. are you ready? >> reporter: i don't know if they would let me out there.
